Continuous-variable quantum computing utilizes continuous parameters of a quantum system to encode information, promising efficient solutions to complex problems. Trapped-ion systems provide a robust platform with long coherence times and precise qubit control, enabling the manipulation of quantum information through its motional and electronic degrees of freedom. In this work, quantum operations that can be generated in trapped-ion systems are employed to investigate applications aimed at state preparation in continuous-variable quantum systems.
